I love this place!! I love the clams with linguine. I always have to have it when I come here. The service is over the top all the time. And happy hour is awesome!! Too bad it closes early now :(

View is amazing but that's the only reason I'd go there. Their Fish and Chips is the worst I've ever had. Even when I decided to give them another try it was just as bad. Really dissapointing for such premium Real Estate.

Ray’s was always a favorite with me but sadly their food no longer justifies the price. The food is good but not that good.

Great Food. A Ballard Institution. Worked here when I was a teenager. Love the place.

We went to lunch upstairs here a couple weeks ago and it was very nice. The clams with beer butter were delicious... despite some sand. I had the caesar salad entree with their house smoked salmon which was pretty good. The atmosphere was excellent!!! We got to watch seals playing around outside. I'd recommend this place if nothing else–for that.

Ever notice that restaurants with great views often have mediocre food?

Consistency is what weeds the little dogs from the big ones. And Rays is a big one. I have eaten downstairs (twice) and upstairs many times over the years, and have always enjoyed it. They serve my favorite fish n chips. Always a good beer on tap. Solid performer. And yes, the deck on a beautiful day is a must.

Joe, you got it right! And Ray's always has a great halibut entree, too. I Love Ray's!!!

Nothing beats a warm, summer day sitting on Ray's deck watching the sailboats drift by.

I like the bar at Ray's. It is comfortable but nice and the staff is always friendly. They have a good happy hour, too.
